Chapter 81 was snatched away!
Pei Qingfan first fed Xiao Que'er a detoxification pill. After taking the pill, the disease was cured and Xiao Que was revived instantly.
"Alright, your poison has been cured. Bring him here for treatment first. If you don't treat him, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on any longer."
Yingyi carried Jinyou into the stone chamber and placed him on the stone bed.
Then Pei Qingfan started to get busy, finding all the necessary herbs and calling Yingyi over.
"Hey, big idiot, come over here and grind the herbs!"
"..." Ying choked for a while, but didn't say anything in the end. He sat obediently and ground the herbs.
For the first time, Pei Qingfan freed his hands and no longer had to find, grind or boil medicine himself. He could devote himself to acupuncture treatment for Jinyou.
First, he fed Jinyou a life-saving pill, and then prepared a few slices of ginseng as a ready supply.
Immediately after two injections, Jinyou's face turned visibly pale.
"This...what's wrong with the prince? You..." a quack...
Que'er met Pei Qingfan's murderous eyes and silently swallowed the last few words.
"Shut up and stop chattering in my ear."
Doctors need a quiet environment, so Pei Qingfan hid in the mountains and devoted himself to studying medicine and poison.
I didn't expect that the situation of several years would be broken by one person.
It's like this little girl, when she opens her mouth, she's like a horde of soldiers, so noisy!
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, but the prince must not be hurt! If it weren't for that giant snake, the prince wouldn't have been injured so badly! It's all because of that giant snake."
Pei Qingfan's hand trembled while giving the acupuncture, and he almost missed the target.
His forehead throbbed with anger, and he pointed at the door and said, "Go out, turn left and there's a secret door. Open it and go inside. There's a woman with a child. Go and see if that child is the one you're looking for. Go, go quickly!"
Pei Qingfan really couldn't stand Xiao Que'er's voice. He didn't know what kind of magic she had, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was as if the voice was circling in his head and would not dissipate for a while.
Xiao Que'er had no idea that there was something else behind his words. She just thought that he had found the Sixth Prince, and happily went to look for the secret door.
Yingyi ground the herbs into powder, set it aside, and asked Pei Qingfan, "Cook it together?"
"Well, bring me a bowl of it in an hour and give it to him along with the pills."
Pei Qingfan's hands kept moving, and soon, Jinyou turned into a hedgehog with silver needles all over his body.
Jinyou let out a soft moan, and Pei Qingfan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, he won't die. Feed it to him once the medicine is ready." He took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Yingyi, "Feed it together with another pill. He'll be fine when he wakes up at dawn."
Pei Qingfan spoke toughly, but he was also a little scared in his heart.
During the years he spent in the mountains, he had not been isolated from the news. He had also heard that the Regent Prince He Qianzhao in the capital had suddenly had a son, and that he doted on him like the apple of his eye.
If the prince died in his territory in the middle of the night, who knows what kind of calamity he would face.
It took several years to develop such a powerful force from nothing, but if they really faced He Qianzhao, they would probably be unable to fight back.
What's worse, with one order, the entire Mang Mountain will be razed to the ground.
"I know what you are worried about." Ying Yi fanned himself and controlled the temperature of the medicine stove.
The sudden sound frightened Pei Qingfan, and he asked him, "What?"
Yingyi didn't repeat himself, but instead asked, "You raised that long worm, didn't you?"
"Long worm?" Pei Qingfan was furious. "That's my baby. He has a name! His name is Little Leaf."
"..." Ying Yi was silent for a moment. The big worm had nothing to do with the small one except that its color was the same as the leaf, right?
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. He never hurts anyone, and I don't know why he was provoked by you today and chased you all the way to play."
Come to think of it, if a big snake didn't intentionally let the water flow, it wouldn't have fallen behind a group of people. It would have eaten them in one bite!
"If I hadn't seen you and called Xiao Ye back, I'm afraid you would have died of exhaustion on the mountain! I also saw that you two had extraordinary talents and wanted to recruit you for my own use, but who knew..." These two people were so powerful that they were actually from the Regent's Palace.
This time he really shot himself in the foot and almost hurt himself!
It was all a misunderstanding. Who knew that the exit of the tunnel was right in a dry well, and the big snake liked to play in dry wells.
Today is the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is what the big snake loves the most. That is why it blocked the exit and prevented the group from leaving.
This led to the subsequent door explosion and snake injury incident.
In the final analysis, everything is just a coincidence and there is no way to tell whether it is right or wrong.
"Your big snake..."
"Little Leaf!"
"Well, how come your little leaf has grown so big? The bone arrows you use look like children's bones, you..."
"No. Xiao Ye Zi doesn't eat people, he usually only eats rabbits." He caught it from the mountains.
"But why are they children's bones? Do you have all the missing children in the city? Are they safe?"
Pei Qingfan lowered his head and remained silent. In the quiet stone chamber, he sighed heavily in the candlelight.
"It's a long story. I don't know if those children were the ones lost in the capital, but the bones used to make the arrows are definitely from children."
Seeing Yingyi about to stand up, he hurriedly explained, "I found the bones on the mountain while I was collecting medicinal herbs. The bones were scattered in a small coffin. I collected them, and later my subordinates mistook them for animal bones and made them into arrows. By the time I discovered them, it was too late. It was their unintentional mistake..."
He changed the subject, "But I have compensated those bones. I have built a cenotaph for them, on the back mountain."
Yingyi quickly grasped the fleeting message in his words: "Those? Them?"
Pei Qingfan nodded. "Those bones are not from the same child, but judging by their age, they are definitely no older than twelve years old. There are both male and female bones, so if you piece them together, they can form a new corpse."
Ying Yi pondered for a moment, but the movements of his hands did not change at all.
He asked, "You said you have many children here? Where are they from?"
"Yes, there are quite a few, but not too many. There are about thirty or so. The children didn't want to look for their biological parents and wanted to stay here, so I kept them. As for where they came from... they were all kidnapped!"
"!? Our dynasty prohibits the buying and selling of children! Are you a kidnapper?"
"Oh, no! Those people with the children are obviously not their biological parents. They bring these children to the village at the foot of the mountain to trade. The children they like stay, and the children they don't like are sent to other places.
I happened to come across it once when I was going down the mountain. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I ordered people to eradicate this filthy village and rescue these poor children."
No wonder the village at the foot of the mountain is so desolate and uninhabited, it turns out it has been destroyed!
What about Keren?
Is it possible?
Ying Yi's expression sternly turned, and he looked at Pei Qingfan with a harsh tone: "Did you kill someone?"
